The Arginusae Islands

A group of archaeologists discovered a lost island. The island was once the ancient city of Kane. It was discovered in the eastern Aegean Sea. Xenophon was a Greek historian that mentioned the island. The island is memorable because of the Battle of Arginusae in 406 B.C.
The Arginusae islands are now referred to as Garip islands. Venerable sources refer to three Arginusae islands. However, the precise location of the third island is vague. Researches used geological evidence to confirm that Kane, that is now a peninsula, was once an island. Before the late Middle Ages, a land bridge developed between island and shore. According to an Ottoman map, the island of Kane had already become a peninsula by 16th century.
To further understand the process, scientists aim to determine the ages of geological layers of the mainland deposits by using radiocarbon dating. Another indication that the peninsula was once an island, are the submerged remains of an ancient harbor from the Hellenistic period. Researchers uncovered pottery on
After the Athenians defeated the Spartans, a storm approached them. The insurmountable storm made it impossible to rescue the Athenian soldiers whose ships had been destroyed because of the war. The generals returned home after failing to rescue the soldiers; as a result, the citizens voted to execute them. Consequently, this demolished the self-esteem and confidence of the Athenian commanders. The Athenians' vengeance eventually contributed to their defeat a year later.

I believe that the discovery of Garip islands is an enormous accomplishment for the Archeologists. The fact that the Garip islands were once a site of a major battle between Athens and Sparta during the Peloponnesian war is admirable and astonishing. The Athenian citizens made a bitter decision to execute the generals as a punishment of failing to rescue the soldiers because it destroyed the
